Taylor 1988 Model 810 Acoustic Guitar w/ Original Case, Very Good

No sales tax for US customers outside California.

This Taylor 1988 810 in natural is in very good condition.  It was pretty filthy when it showed up here.  With some careful elbow grease, Dana got it looking great.  It didn't look at first like I'd dig it all that much, but it plays great and has a huge sound.

It has a Sitka spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides, and a mahogany neck with a slim/fast C profile. The fretboard is ebony with Pearl Diamond Snowflake inlays. The finish is original and in good condition. The top has no cracks, but it does have some checking and dings. It weighs 5 lbs 5 oz.

The nut and saddle are Tusq, the tuners are Schaller, and there's an added under-saddle piezo pickup. We don't know the brand of the pickup. The saddle leans forward a little, but our tech went over it and says all good.

This one seems like it was a barn find due to the previously mentioned filth throughout, and it looks as if wasps set up camp inside the body at some point. We cleaned off as much as we could reach, so be sure to check out the pics. It comes with a generic case in good condition and a strap.
